Description

Do you know what is in your food? We are what we eat. Think healthy!

This app is for everyone who wants to live healthier. With one quick scan you can check the hazard of each ingredient and avoid using potentially harmful food. Just point the camera at the ingredients label, wait for a few seconds and you will get a list with different colors. Red means that the ingredient is potentially dangerous, orange – there is some information for possible irritations or problems, green – safe to use.

Are you confused by the chemical names in your foods? Do you want to be sure that you are using the best food products for you and your family? You no longer need to have a degree in Chemistry in order to read the labels. Ingredients scanner is your clever shopping assistant that saves you time.

The supported languages of food label ingredients and additives are English, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish. It is possible to read and use the app to find E numbers in any language. You could search manually for any ingredient or additive in the database as well.

You could enter your custom ingredients or edit the existing ones in the database.

Are you allergic to some ingredients? Use our Allergens feature to add your allergens and the app will show you if they exists in the scanned food ingredients label.

Pick food that is good for your health and live happier.

Wish it did more

I gave two stars only because the app did what it advertised; I misunderstood it though. It scans a food label, then gives a green, yellow or red rating to each ingredient. This was disappointing to me, because you cannot learn more about the ingredients. They don’t even provide an explanation of how the ratings are assigned. I would personally like to know more about the actual ingredient and also how the arbitrary color is assigned.

If you tap on the results chart after scanning and then on each ingredient you will find information from Wikipedia for each one. Our classification is based on manual research for all food ingredients in our database. You could imagine the amount of work, effort and time that we have done. Please update your rating if you find this application useful. It’s completely free after all.

Better than similar apps on the market!

This app is a universal solution for scanning ingredients' labels. Similar apps on the market rely on barcodes or user input while this solution is automated. There is no need to write anything – just open the scanner, point it to the label and you will get instant response on what the app has found. Recognition in real time is quite a useful feature.

Exactly what I was looking for!

Have been looking for an app that tells me about the ingredients in products. I think linking ingredients to Wikipedia is genius and haven’t come across another food app that does this. The app isn’t concerned about my diet, age, gender, food goals. Easy to use interface. Thank you!
